EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment of leisure and intimacy between Odette de Champdivers, known as the "little queen," and King Charles VI in the 15th century. The image shows them engrossed in a game of cards, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight in an opulent interior setting. Odette de Champdivers appears elegant and poised, her intricate gown reflecting the fashion of the time. Despite her royal title, she exudes a sense of playfulness and camaraderie as she competes with King Charles VI. The king himself is depicted with regal authority, yet there is a warmth to his expression as he engages in this simple pastime with his companion. The details captured in this engraving transport us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of nobility during the Middle Ages. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns add depth to the scene, drawing viewers into this intimate moment shared between two historical figures. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of games and social interactions that transcend centuries. Odette de Champdivers and King Charles VI may be long gone, but their connection endures through art like this exquisite engraving from Photo Josse's Special Collection.
